"a rendition that explodes like an overturned tanker truck."
Charles Kruger, Bay Area Theatre Examiner
Overview
A case of sibling rivalry between two estranged brothers who have reconnected. Austin, the younger brother and Hollywood screenwriter is house sitting for their mother, who is vacationing in Alaska. His older brother, Lee, a drifter thief who has been living in the desert appears, and the two clash when their lives become entangled over a movie deal through Austin's agent Saul. Their lives end up reversing and all hell breaks loose when their mom returns unexpectedly.
